Using instasharp to access instagramm api

Question

I'm trying to access the instagramm api using the instasharp nuget package. Now I've been checking the github readme, to get some further informations.

Link: https://github.com/InstaSharp/InstaSharp

So I started to store the keys inside my app.config like the following:

<appSettings>
    <add key="client_id" value="xxx"/>
    <add key="client_secret" value="xxx "/>
    <add key="redirect_uri" value="xxx"/>
</appSettings>

And added a webbrowser to my winfoms project. This would be user to let the user authentificate their account with my application.

Now I've planned once the application is started, the Form1_Load event should get the link to the oauth site and navigate the browser to it.

My current code:

using InstaSharp;
using System;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Insta_Buddy
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void bunifuImageButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Close();
        }

        private void bunifuImageButton2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var clientId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["client_id"];
            var clientSecret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["client_secret"];
            var redirectUri = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["redirect_uri"];
            var realtimeUri = "";

            InstagramConfig config = new InstagramConfig(clientId, clientSecret, redirectUri, realtimeUri);
        }

    }
}

But now I'm kind of confused, how to continue since Instasharp tells me to add the following code:

public ActionResult Login()
{
    var scopes = new List<OAuth.Scope>();
    scopes.Add(InstaSharp.OAuth.Scope.Likes);
    scopes.Add(InstaSharp.OAuth.Scope.Comments);

    var link = InstaSharp.OAuth.AuthLink(config.OAuthUri + "authorize", config.ClientId, config.RedirectUri, scopes, InstaSharp.OAuth.ResponseType.Code);

    return Redirect(link);
}

But I think this isn't winforms based, since ActionResult can't be called. And I need the link from this application to navigate the webbrowser there to authentificate the user.

Does anyone have a idea or created something similare to this?

I really appreciate any kind help.
